Poland has played the role of a turf in the beginning. Because it is located at the junction of East and West Europe, the conflict of civilizations is fierce, and there are no mountains and rivers as natural dangers in the territory. It is an ideal battlefield. Therefore, the history of Poland is a history of blood and tears that is constantly divided and unified. Since ancient times, Poland's unity and stability will not exceed a hundred years, and the process is often interrupted by foreign aggression.
Poland was last invaded during the Soviet period. Before the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty at the cost of Poland being partitioned and the Polish government in exile. Poland survives in the cracks between Russia and Europe, and its industrial production capacity is not bad. It is the seventh largest industrial country in the world and has the ability to imitate tanks. Before the outbreak of the war, Poland had produced a total of 780 TK series tanks, becoming the absolute main force of the Polish armored forces.
During the Cold War, Poland was the forefront of the Soviet Union against Europe and the United States, so it invested a lot of support for it and helped it build a strong armor force. After the end of the Cold War, Poland joined NATO and became the front line against Russia. For fear of being invaded by Russia, it was equipped with armored forces second only to Turkey. With the help of the United States, Poland has the ability to produce third-generation main battle tanks. It has also successfully developed the world's first stealth tank PL-01 in the past few years, which shocked the world at one time.
It is reported that the surface of the PL-01 tank uses a kind of magic "tile", which can achieve stealth in the infrared band, and the occupants can observe the outside situation inside the car. The enemy's infrared guided weapons It cannot be detected. In different temperature environments, the tank can also adjust the temperature by itself, just like a chameleon, integrating with the environment. From the outside, the PL-01 tank is very sci-fi, like extraterrestrial technology. This peculiar shape, coupled with the background processing of the camera and projector, can be integrated with the background, even if it is at a certain distance It is not easy to distinguish with the naked eye.
However, although the PL-01 tank is advanced, it is not realistic to put it into actual combat due to cost and technical reasons, and sales are very ugly. Later, Poland developed a stealth main battle tank, the PT-16, and its export sales were equally bleak, and even its own army was unwilling to equip it. At present, the Polish Army is equipped with German Leopard 2A4 tanks, and all domestic tanks are still in the concept stage.
In recent years, Germany and France are jointly developing a new generation of European main battle tanks to deal with the latest Russian army’s T-14" Armata" tanks. Poland intends to participate. But it was rejected by France and Germany. In order to find a fourth-generation tank against the T-14, Poland looked for partners around the world, and after many twists and turns, it found South Korea and plans to develop a 3.5-generation tank based on the K-2 tank. Main battle tank. It is reported that the export price of the tank is as high as 11 million U.S. dollars, and Poland plans to introduce 800 vehicles, which will be a sky-high order of 9 billion U.S. dollars.
